Department of Justice obligations in Georgia 5th District (GA-05)
Awarding agency 015 and Georgia 5th District (GA-05) meet at $755,210,174.12 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 489 awards. Four hundred eighty-nine Justice-coded awards equal about four percent of GA-05’s district obligation total. HUD also meets GA-05 on a separate tie; this page is agency 015 only. That pair is Department of Justice and Georgia 5th District (GA-05) — not Georgia’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Justice nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 3.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($20,366,413,605.18). Implied average obligation is about $1,544,397.08 ($755,210,174.12 ÷ 489). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 015 inside GA-05
Awarding agency 015 and congressional district GA-05 meet here. $755,210,174.12 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Justice’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments. 489 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file.
This page reports justice awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $755,210,174.12 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $20,366,413,605.18; the 3.7% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Georgia districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.
Agency 015 without inventing a component pie
USAspending labels awarding agency 015 as Department of Justice. That code produced $755,210,174.12 when crossed with Georgia 5th District (GA-05) place of performance. The agency-wide 015 hub does not require GA-05 geography. The district hub does not require Justice. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 489 awards. The packet does not split DOJ components or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Georgia 5th District (GA-05) did not “cause” $755,210,174.12 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 015 × GA-05 only. It is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
How Georgia 5th District is coded
Georgia 5th District (GA-05) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list GA-05 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Georgia districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 015. Georgia 5th District (GA-05) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Georgia. Other Georgia districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 015. Georgia 5th District (GA-05) is the shared geography. Agency 015 is Department of Justice, not Housing and Urban Development (086). Keep both the district code and the agency code in any citation.
Georgia federal spending shows how agency 015 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $755,210,174.12 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Georgia 5th District (GA-05) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of Justice. The district-wide obligation total published here is $20,366,413,605.18; $755,210,174.12 is the Justice slice of that denominator.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $755,210,174.12 is that kind of sum for Department of Justice inside GA-05 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $755,210,174.12 as given.
Georgia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 489-row Justice cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 489 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,544,397.08) is a concentration statistic, not a typical GA-05 Justice payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Justice (agency 015) obligated $755,210,174.12 on 489 awards coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05). Name Department of Justice and Georgia 5th District (GA-05) together. Keep the obligation word. If Georgia 5th District or Department of Justice has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a case docket, a prison census, or a named-grantee file. 3.7% of $20,366,413,605.18 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Justice, Georgia 5th District (GA-05), $755,210,174.12, and 489 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Justice is the 015 parent without a GA-05 filter. Georgia federal spending is the Georgia parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Justice does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Limits of the GA-05 × 015 snapshot
489 awards is a mid-size Justice file. Volume is not a case docket and not a prison census. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,544,397.08) and the district share (3.7% of $20,366,413,605.18) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Georgia 5th District and Department of Justice if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much Justice spending is coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05)?
- USAspending.gov lists $755,210,174.12 in Justice (agency 015) obligations across 489 awards coded to Georgia 5th District (GA-05). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Georgia’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.7% of the district’s published total ($20,366,413,605.18). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does $755,210,174.12 include every Justice program in GA-05?

- Is $755,210,174.12 cash already paid in Georgia 5th District (GA-05)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline.

Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these Justice awards in GA-05?
